Willis Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Noice. Rally/Khanacross etc are really appealing to me. Just seems like an absolute blast. TRD KE70's rally car looks like a bucket of fun. Can't wait. Quote
jimi91 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 Hahhaha yeah best fun and its cheap and u don't have to worry about the cops pulling u over for hooning ;) yeah i love that thing !!! See ya Jimi Quote
snot35 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Khana's are great. Good cheap fun and you can be reasonably competitive in a '70. Nice work on the '55. I like the position numbers behind the wheel, you've been writing pace notes in that thing? Quote
Subaru_kid Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) What a bargain! Nice buy man, looks like a fun car! :D Edited July 10, 2012 by Subaru_kid Quote

jimi91 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 Hahhaha the prob i have is i take pics and not many people take them of me so it will be hard :P I did some work and have removed the rear shoes and cylinders, and front pads so i can get new ones and check they are correct as I'm not certain on what model there off :) I plan to remove engine this weekend so i can install cam and then plan to organise parts to install webbers ;) See ya Jimi Quote
corollaart Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Looks good ,youll be suprised how competitive these old bangers are if drove properly. Does it needs more neg camber ,can't see from photos. What sort of suspension mods? rob Quote
jimi91 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 Giddy up! :) Hahahha yeah but know we might just chuck a downy on till i bulid my 5k up ;) Looks good ,youll be suprised how competitive these old bangers are if drove properly. Does it needs more neg camber ,can't see from photos. What sort of suspension mods? rob Hahahha yeah she is a rocket ship :P yeah i reckon it might ;) but don't think it has much camber the lower control arms have been extended a little but not much :P king springs in front and just some super cheap shocks in back ;) This will be fine for what I'm doing See ya Jimi Quote
